Irish racing tips for Fairyhouse

12.55 Fairyhouse - Taking Stock - back to win

Taking Stock came to the track with a reputation, attracting plenty of support when accounting for seven rivals in comfortable fashion in a Punchestown bumper. He was then sent off favourite when fourth in maiden hurdle there last month, the way in which he travelled through that race suggesting he has the speed to handle this drop in trip. A bright prospect, he should take some beating here.

1.25 Fairyhouse - Keats Dream - place lay

Keats Dream showed plenty of ability in bumpers back in 2008, but there has been much less to enthuse about in his subsequent hurdling career, leaving Charles Byrnes before a disappointing reappearance. Barry Geraghty is an eye-catching jockey booking, but on balance Keats Dream is worth taking on at the prices.

2.30 Fairyhouse - Chaussettes - back for a place

Chaussettes has upped his game a notch or two in the past few months, gaining his first success at Downpatrick in August and shaping as if still in top form since. He should go well with a top jockey booked.
